Tuning: E A D G B E

Silent Key by Frank Turner I love this song, tragic but so beautiful. From the new Frank Turner album Positive Songs for Negative People Intro: E B A E B A E B A E B Am

On the ^E28th of ^BJanuary ^A1986 Christa Mc^EAuliffe gazed in ^Bhorror as the O-rings ^Afailed ^AAnd she died, and she died, and she died For the ^Enext agonising ^Btwo minutes and ^Aforty five long seconds She called ^Eout the truth on a ^Bbroken ^Aradio ^AI'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

It ^Bcame as some surprise to rea^Elise that as she lost ^Aeverything The ^Bworld was revealing a transmission so ^Ereal that she understood ^Aeverything You're still ^Ealive ^B ^A

You're still ^Ealive ^B ^A

Four ^Ethousand nautical ^Bmiles as the ^Acrow flies away ^AA home made ham ^Eradio in the loft of a ^BHampshire family ^Ahome ^ACame alive, came alive, came alive And so the ^E4 year old amateur ^Boperator ^Athus became the only person to ^Ehear Christa's last ^Bdesperate communi^Aque ^AWe're alive, we're alive, we're alive

It ^Bcame as some surprise to rea^Elise what he didn't catch ^Aeverything The ^Bworld was revealing a transmission so ^Ereal that he understood ^Aeverything E ….... You're still alive

(E soft) And Christa said

The ^Edarkness up above ^Am ^BLed me on like unrequited ^C#mlove While all the ^Amthings I need Were ^Bdown here in the deep blue sea

At ^E4 ^Amyears old I ^Bheard the truth on my ^C#mradio So ^Amnow I keep a moments silence for my silent ^Ekey My silent ^Ekey ^B ^A My silent ^Ekey ^B ^A My silent ^Ekey ^B ^A
